30 Weeks

Yay! Today we reached the 30 week mark and I do feel quite a sense of accomplishment even though our little guy is not here yet. I has been an amazing journey being pregnant thus far, and I am relishing in the last weeks that he will be in my tummy. It has been an unique bonding experience that I will never forget. This week I am finally starting to feel the effects of summer. The Bay Area weather has decided that Summer can hide no longer and the temp is rising. This comes with both excitement and some annoyance. My excitement is that I LOVE Summer! It truly is my favorite season of the year filled with BBQ's, family events, Birthday parties, and FUN. However, the annoyances would be that I am already hotter than the average person so I sweat just sitting or standing, because my ankles like to swell I am confined to wearing my running shoes, and I will not be attending any pool parties (or public outings) in a prego swimsuit! (Awww...that does feel better to vent) Although I must admit I do feel spoiled to have an A/C at home, not everyone has one at their home and for this I feel really blessed.

Something new that our little guy showed me this week is the infamous, "tummy rippling/popping out". He must of made a sharp turn or big stretch because "pop" out went my tummy from his elbow or foot i'm not sure but it was such a cool site to see. Then last night he wanted to play around for about 30 minutes rolling back and forth! He sure put on as show for me and kept me awake to see it. He reminds me all the time that he is a growing bigger and bigger as well as that he has a mind of his own.

We had our first shower this past weekend!! It was hosted by my long time friend Sam (a special thanks to her and all the work that she did). This was our first shower ever, and it was amazing. I have never been one that likes to be the complete center of attention but in it being a baby shower the Mommy to be is some what the center but mostly the baby.

Another item that I really had to start on this week was getting all of Isaac's things organized. We were blessed with such love at our first Shower that starting his closet was a must! It was a bit more than I thought it would be but I have to start some where. My original goal was to have everything ready 6 weeks before I am due, and as of right now we are pretty much on track for that to happen. Seeing his clothes in the closet and organizing the blankets, hats, shoes, etc was bringing tears of joy to my eyes. To see the items laid out and put in drawers really brings a sense of realness. Realness that he is almost here, realness that the clothes that I am putting away very soon this busy little body that is moving all the time inside of me will be wearing them.

Yesterday we were able to make it to see my little niece Belle promote from preschool to kindergarten! It was for sure an "oh my goodness" moment. I was also blessed to be in the room the moment she made her debut into the world, and I beamed with pride as she walked across the stage stopped in the center turned around and waved to us all then excepted her first diploma (I am getting teary as I type). The little girl that she has grown into is just amazing in so many ways. She will be an awesome cousin for Isaac in years to come that is for certain. Being a part of her milestone tugged on my heart to think about the future of our little Isaac.

Things to look forward to this week: Eddie's first Father's Day! (2) Giants Games one for the minor league and one for the major league, and our 3rd birthing class.
